"Slow Down" #25 10/10/1964

In 1958 Billboard changed their method of ranking two-sided hits, listing the A and B sides separately. They went back to combining both sides of the single in 1969, probably affecting the Beatles more than any other act. This, together with A-side "Matchbox" likely would've done much better had both sides been counted as one. Clip is from one of their 50+ BBC radio appearances.
